But Elmore, Holmes had a Glock--TWO Glocks. And if he did not have them equipped with high-capacity magazines, how could he have shot so many people in so short a time?

If more sensible gun laws outlawed fully automatic weapons with high-capacity magazines, as they used to, massacres of this nature would be far less likely.

One does not need to outlaw guns entirely. BUT, one can alter the laws to make them far more reasonable, suitable for the sportsman (hunter, target shooter) or for home defense (the six-shot Smith & Wesson revolver easily accessible in the drawer--but safeguarded from curious children).

You don't need a fully automatic Glock with a thirty-round magazine for self defense. Only for mayhem!

Due to the psychological pecadilloes of the friend mentioned above, I've thought a lot about this matter.

It all comes back to "a well regulated militia."
